Where Da White Monkeys At?

Well at least this doll isn't dancing on a pole!

This past summer the nation was introduced to "Lil Monkey" baby doll, an African American complexioned doll nicknamed Lil Monkey (scrolled across her lil hat) who is also holding a monkey. The doll, a part of the "Cuddle With Me" doll series, is made by Brass Key, whose company has had great success with their porcelain dolls, in addition to their creations of many Disney doll lines and limited edition Mupphet figures. This is also the company that manufactured the famous lil Macy's bears. The "Cuddle With Me" doll series was manufactured for Costco in the early 1990's.

So when I saw the web-famous pic of "Lil Monkey" I knew there was more than a racist motive here. I mean come on, this company is pretty upscale, NOT SAYING AN UPSCALE COMPANY CAN'T PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT'S RACIST but just looking at their record, creating a black monkey doll with racial intentions is the worst financial risk that company could take. They create dolls for little girls of all races with manufacturers all over the world. They represent some of the top doll and toy distributors in history. What redneck idiot who sniffed too much before the business meeting would have the nonsense enough to agree to a doll DIRECTLY insulting African Americans? One with buffalo balls, that's for sure, but also one who really doesn't want his job anymore. I mean this doll doesn't hold back, it's a monkey on the box, on the hat, on the big, and on the monkey! Lol it's 2009, everyone knows you gotta sugarcoat your racism these days!
Then I found these pictures of another doll in the "Cuddle" series. It's the Lil Panda! Adorable! Then I found the white version of the Panda doll.So I looked, and looked, and looked, and still couldn't find the WHITE version of the MONKEY doll. And I think that's where the mistake was made. Yea,I think if Brass Key had put out more white monkey dolls it would've been fair game cuz that way every1's a monkey.Every1 can feel the same racism at the same time right? Naw.
But that's how it should be. I honestly don't see why this elite company would stoop so to smear their good name with petty racism. The doll looks cheap as hell at that.
I blame Costco,the doll series was made exclusively for their store chain and I'm sure the inventory can be controlled.SOMEBODY COULD'VE ASKED WHERE'S THE WHITE MONKEY!WHERE ARE THE PANDAS?There are ways to divert attention from lil black monkey over there.

People should be offended, I'm with that. But understand what you're offended for.The doll itself is cute,the monkey part, hmm,I gotta give the company the benefit of the doubt simply cuz if there's a white and black panda,there's got to be a black AND white monkey.So give Costco a chance.Before boycotting them and tellin all ya friends don't get ya 50 pack of tissue from there anymore,look into your Black activist heart and ask,"Where's the white monkeys?"

I'm sure Costco will be glad to answer lol.
